With a view to strengthening economic cooperation, the X Meeting of the High-Level Joint Commission on Economic Cooperation between Venezuela and Iran began this Monday.

In this regard, Foreign Minister Yván Gil, in statements given to the social media and replicated by the newspaper Úlmas Noticias, specified that the main objective of this meeting is to further strengthen economic cooperation between the two nations.

He pointed out that the Government of Venezuela has signed 298 agreements in various areas, such as technology, science, agriculture, education and culture.

The Iranian delegation, which is in Caracas, is chaired by Iran's Petroleum Minister, Mohsen Paknejad.

Gil said that new investments are expected to be made and that Iran is a country that is very interested in venturing into the oil, finance and industrial sectors, among others.

It should be remembered that on October 24, President Nicolás Maduro held a meeting with his Iranian counterpart, Masoud Pezeshkian, to strengthen bilateral cooperation and expand economic ties, “promoting the development of their strategic sectors”.

This meeting was held in the city of Kazan (Russia) within the framework of the BRICS Summit.
